Showing Up With Authenticity
I have been writing content for a year now, and boy, has my message and intentions changed since I started! I mean... my first piece of content in 2022 was a YouTube video titled “How to Overcome the Fear of Starting a YouTube Channel”.
I went from sharing content creation tips to sharing the life lessons I learned in 2022 in my previous blog post. Talk about a shift!
When I started, I wasn’t sure what I was doing, I wasn’t sure what I had to share, and I wasn’t sure if I was going to be any good at it. But here I am today, a year later, still writing, still sharing, and really enjoying it!
In the past year, I figured out what my message is, what my mission is, and how I’m going to get it done.
Today I feel confident about my message and the value I can provide to my readers, clients, and listeners (what? Yes! I have a podcast coming out soon!). And that message is: I am here to help you see beyond your limiting beliefs and current circumstances, and guide you to create a life aligned with your values and manifest your wildest dreams. Boom. The message is out.
That’s right, I am here to help you and guide you. I made it my life’s mission to help as many people as I can to understand their true power and potential and step into it to create life experiences they are excited to have! I get frustrated when I see unhappy people who are not living in alignment with their aspirations, purpose, and dreams even though they want to.
And this frustration is so deeply rooted in me, from witnessing my parent’s life experiences to my own experience, that I know it will give me enough energy to go all the way through with my message and mission. There is nothing more powerful than being scared s**tless of taking the same path as your folks to propel you into the night sky and make it to the stars! (no offense and all my respect to them, but there are some experiences I do not wish to reproduce!)
Figuring all of this out took me a while though, I had to go through stages of trial, error, and growing pain to learn to fully accept myself, my mission, and stop censoring my message. It was only while writing my story for my business plan a few days ago that I understood where my drive was coming from!
For most of 2022, I have purposefully avoided talking about manifestation. I felt resistance to presenting myself as a manifestation teacher. But manifestation is a big part of my journey, this is how I create my life! How can I help others reach their dreams if I don’t share with them the one tool that’s been helping me achieve mine for years?
But first, I had to get over feelings of shame, fear of judgment, and fear of haters to fully own my message. This process asked for introspection, and it’s still a work in progress, nevertheless, I decided to fully integrate manifestation into my coaching program and content. And now that I am going through this energetic shift, I am starting to truly own my message, and... what a liberation! I feel... aligned!
I now feel free to share my thoughts and knowledge because I know that thanks to that shift, the people who are in alignment with my message will find it. And people who are not aligned with it don't have to watch and can leave if they wish to, and that’s fine! I'm not here to please everyone, I can't, nobody can, well, maybe Beyoncé can...
So, moving forward you can expect content about manifestation, personal development, and living a purposeful life across my channels. Those are the subjects that excite me, and that I want to share with you to help you on your journey of creating a life you are passionate about.
I know it's a big shift in my content and program, but this feels really good for me. And I believe that as long as I am honest, authentic, and aligned with my message, it will reach the people who will enjoy it and learn from it!
I think this blog post has a lot to say about self-acceptance and showing up as yourself whether it's online, in your business, or in your personal life. Self-acceptance has been a big theme for me my whole life and especially the past 5 years and I cannot emphasize enough how much figuring out who I am and accepting myself has played a tremendous role in my happiness.
I hope you love and accept yourself just the way you are today. I hope you are not afraid of showing up as yourself in life, and that you are surrounded by people who accept you and get you!
